Hugs are actually so underrated especially those hugs that are so tight u can literally feel the other person’s heartbeat n for a moment everything feels so calm and safe like nothing can hurt you
ur twenties are weird. i have the priorities of a kindergartener again. i don’t know what in the hell is going on EVER. i like colors. i like soup. i want to take a nap
self care is also being honest with yourself about your negative habits and mistakes. it’s also taking ownership of your faults and growing from them. self care is diverting from a negative space to a positive one. creating light and balance. blooming. watering your own flowers. being gentle but honest with yourself.
so take care.
Does anyone know the name of the song at the end of The L word generation q. Season 1 Episode 6? #thelword #lesbian
I saw a post that said “I wasn’t myself for months and nobody noticed” I felt that.
i spent 22 years of my life closeted to everyone in my family other than my parents and my sister. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality. this meant that i spent every holiday gathering watching my sister, cousins, and family members bringing their significant others who were welcomed with love and open arms. i spent years envying what they had. i felt like something was wrong with me for who i was, for who i loved. and i hated myself more and more every year for it.
i haven’t gone home at all for the holidays the last 3 years. this year i’m lucky to have come out to some of my extended family who has been loving and accepting. i made the decision last year that i would stop putting myself in an uncomfortable position, would stop hiding myself, would stop dulling who i am to make others comfortable.
so this holiday season remember that you’re not alone, whether you’re out and proud, or still in the closet, whether your family is loving and accepting, or not there at all, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞. i’m here if anyone needs someone to lean on. what gets me through the holiday season is remembering that it won’t always be like this. that one day i will live in a home, in a family, that is loving of all. ❤️🌈
You can’t break someone who is already broken. But what you can do is add to their pain. So thank you for being that person. You only broke me more than I thought you would, and more than anyone else ever has.
